Significant growth in BPO sector seen

Significant growth in BPO sector seen

"The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) said in its 2011 report that the BPO industry was now the second-biggest contributor to the local economy next to remittance inflows from overseas Filipinos.

"The report further stated that the BPO sector contributed close to $9 billion in export revenues last year, representing a 4.8-percent share of the country’s GDP. The target for 2012 was set at $11 billion.

By 2016, the industry group expected the country’s BPO revenues to hit the $25-billion mark, or a 10-percent share in the global market and at the same level as OFW remittances."
